  • One in three employees in Sweden work in a family-owned enterprise

    Family-owned enterprises account for more than a third of Sweden’s GDP, and one in three employees work for a family-owned enterprise. Family-owned enterprises are diverse and consist of both small producers and large multinational corporations. In addition, they are active in all areas of the business sector. These are the findings of a study published in the periodical Focus on Business and Labour Market.

  • Lack of work or studies could have future consequences

    Young people who neither worked nor studied for one year between 2001 and 2003 had a 57 percent higher risk of not being established on the labour market in 2011. This is compared to their peers who during the same period were working or studying. These are the findings of a study published in the periodical Focus on Business and Labour Market.

  • Offshoring reduces employment in Sweden

    Offshoring reduces the number of job vacancies in Sweden and the reduction is greatest for enterprises that move their entire core activities abroad. Between 2009 and 2011, 6 200 jobs disappeared as a result. It is not possible to see any clear productivity effect of moving operations abroad, even if there are indications that enterprises that only move their support operations abroad are more productive.
